First and last time I go to this place. I ask what hazy they recommend and he replies with "the ones on the menu" with a smartass tone. I even told him it was our first time. Terrible customer service.
Very cool vibes but I did not have one beer I liked (and we tried out 5 different types). The female bartender was miserable and very standoffish, with absolutely no reason to be. If they had better customer service I would consider coming back but it’s a no for me.
Good atmosphere +⭐️, good beer+2⭐️, subpar service -1⭐️
I’m from Upstate NY and the Golden Summer Lager is amazing !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stopped in on a Wednesday. There are 2 other great breweries in the area which makes it a fun spot to hop around.
Had the light lager, was a little on the butter side, but pretty solid. The bar is pretty cool and modern, had plenty of bar seating and high tops along with a cool little couch as you enter the beer garden.
The beer garden is awesome. Plenty of space, cool lighting, and a stage. Would love to hangout there with some live music. Prices are more than reasonable and the staff is super attentive.
Worth a stop!
Loud open mike guy who sounded terrible. Hubby liked the beer. I asked for a coke and they poured a can of poppi something into a hot glass with no ice and served it like that. No thanks.
No toilet roll in bathrooms except bits on the floor. All the empty tables were dirty with food and drink debris when we arrived 5 pm ish.
Salty Bear Brewery is an absolute gem! The craft beers are exceptional, with a wide range of flavors that cater to all tastes. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for both casual hangouts and a special Father’s Day! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend the perfect brew. If you’re in the area, a visit to Salty Bear Brewery is a must. Highly recommend!
Nicely decorated with all the typical fixins of a hip brewery, it's biggest downfalls are the beer selection, (absent) food selection, and rude bartender
If you want amazing beer or a great selection... don't come here. They have a few of the staple choices like lagers, IPAs, and seltzers but there's nothing too exciting scrolling up and down looking at the list. I ordered 4-5 of these and they were all "decent".
The bartender was also very unfriendly, curt, and didn't talk much, and didn't give any great suggestions when asked. He was polite for the most part but just left a bad taste in your mouth after most interactions.
There is lots of seating and the outdoor area is really refreshing to just hang out in.
There's also no food here but we got a togo pizza and fries next door!
Great vibe, great beer and amazing place!!
Good place to go, they play music and the beer is very delicious, and the best thing of all is that it is pet friendly.
The handsome guy in the photo is called Hagrid.

Delicious beer and friendly staff!I got the Aloha Guava beer; it was really light and I I liked it a lot. For two beers plus to, it cost around $18. About the right price in SoCal.The area gets really busy Saturday afternoon; it took me awhile to find parking, so check about all breweries around.Come and try!
Salty bartender, oddly sterile and cold service. Beer tasted fine. Good music, lights were too bright. Try dimming it a bit to create a more cozy environment. I'll be going back to Green Cheek for warmer and friendlier service. Won't be back!

Such a great place and really well run. The beer is perfectly fermented and the staff is super friendly and well trained. They have bands too. Joe, the owner is a great guy and this is just a good stop in any itinerary. Have the WC IPA.
Great beverages and beautiful patio setup.
